Just watched another episode of The Iron Chef.
My goodness, this is good television!
This week's secret ingredient is Angler Fish aka Frog Fish aka Monk Fish, a huge, ugly, flat fish with a large gaping mouth. The whole fish can be eaten, but apparantly the Angler Fish's liver is most prized.
The first episode of The Iron Chef was aired in Japan on the 10th of Oct 1993. 1993!
The complete LIST of Secret Ingredients ever used in The Iron Chef!

Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Welcome to The Hellmouth - Seize the moment, cos tomorrow, you might be dead.
The Harvest - You didn't think I'd miss this, did you?
Witch - And you'll be stopping me...how?
Teacher's Pet - We're talking full on exorcist twist.
Never kill a boy on the first date - If the Apocalypse comes, beep me.
The Pack - And the weird behaviour award goes to...
Angel - You're like 224 years older than I am.
I, Robot, You Jane - Besides, I can always tell when something's wrong. My spider sense is tingling.

Restaurant Empire
A game unlike any you've played, the most unlikely combination, The Sims meet The Iron Chef...
Play Restaurant Empire!
I love this game! You get to play a Chef, run a restaurant, and when honor is challenged, take part in Cooking Competitions ala Iron Chef!
(When I've taken over the world, I'll start on Hotel Giant.)

regret (5:54 PM) :
watching attack of the clones now.
hehe
jadyte (5:56 PM) :
that show just made me lower standards for all shows.
that's why i actually enjoyed matrix2.
because by all definations, matrix2 was a boring show which tried to be too intelligent.
But thanks to clones, i had no expectations for all movies.
And for that, alone, matrix2 was actually enjoyable.

Towel Day - May 25th
Remember, TOWEL DAY in just 4 days!
What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with.
| HAVE YOU GOT YOUR TOWEL YET? |

Confessions of an IKEA junkie
I was at IKEA again yesterday. Ermm... but look at what I got!
GLIMMA Tealights (:
S$3.90 for a pack of a hundred pieces. I have only 200+ pieces from the last time I stocked up (*cough) last week. And I use at least 3 Tealights a day (aromatic simmer pot, chinese tea pot heater and nightlight), I only have enough for a little more than a month. Now with this restocking, I can last THREE MONTHS!
One can never have too many tealights.
RARING Tealight Holders (:
S$2.50 each. Made of stainless steel, this tealight holder is nifty as one of the panels swings open totally to allow easy placement or removal of tealights. Little mangnets at the side holds the panel closed. Now, joining the bunch of tealights on my shelf, they can now be called 'A Horde'.
One can never have too many tealight holders.
NYTTJA Mirror (:
S$4.95. 25cm by 35cm. This sleek mirror sits on my side cupboard right next to the door. Perfect for that last minute 'I need make-up now!' situations. And that red frame is so neat! Erm, ignore that daisy picture in the frame. Its much prettier to look at than a boring old mirror, don't you think? Look at that frame!
One can never have too many mirrors.
PLASTIS Ice Trays (:
S$2.90 each. 6 different shapes. Made of rubber, these ice trays come in 6 different designs. The one that makes heart shaped ice is made of red rubber. Round shaped ice with a hole in the middle is made of blue rubber. Star shaped ice tray is made of orange rubber. Blue rubber ice tray makes long strips of ice bars. The green rubber ice tray makes arrow shaped ice. And the one that makes plus shaped ice is made of yellow rubber. Very pretty.
One can never have too many ice trays.
IDEALISK Pitcher (:
S$9.00. The perfectly sized stainless steel pitcher for me to mix soap making thingies in. Has little marked graduations inside the pitcher. Holds uo to 2 pints. Or a little more than 1 litre. Now I do not have to wait HOURS just to make sure I get the right temperature. Liquids will cool or heat up quickly in this pitcher.
One can never have too many pitchers.
VASEN Glass (:
S$2.90. This HUGE HUGE glass is HUGE. Holds 1.5 litres. That's a long drink of water.
One can never have too many glasses.

6 degrees of Separation
In 1967, the Harvard Social Psychologist Stanley Milgram sent roughly 300 letters to randomly selected people in Omaha, Nebraska with the instruction to get the letter to a single "target" person in Boston using only personal contacts.
Milgram gave each "sender" some information about the target including name, location, and occupation, so that if the sender did not know the target (and it was extremely unlikely that they would), they could send the letter to someone they did know who they thought would be "closer" to the target. Thus began a chain of senders, each member of the chain attempting to zero in on the target by sending the letter to someone else: a friend, family member, business associate, or casual acquaintance.
Milgram's surprising finding was that for the 60 chains that eventually reached the target, the average number of steps in a chain was around six, a result that has entered folklore as the phrase "Six degrees of separation."
But is it really true? While Milgram's first experiment suggests it is, other experiments have been less conclusive, and no experiment has been done to test the theory on a global scale.
This is what The Department of Sociology, Columbia University is trying to find out. Help them out!

GALEJ Tealight Holders (:
S$2.00 for 4. These glass tealight holders are squat little containors, perfectly shaped to hold one tealight each. Each just high enough to keep spilled hot paraffin within the holder. And we all know how messy hot liquid paraffin can be. ): The four tealight holders now sit sulkily among the dozens of tealight holders on my shelf.
One can never have too many tealight holders.
BAGN Bed Table (:
S$15.00 With this nifty bed table, I can DAoC from my bed with the laptop. Wheee! I may never need to stand up again.

Yummy yummy Swedish Meatballs!
Lunch at Ikea's. Unlimited Coffee. Ball Room, not just for Kids. I'm having a fun filled day tomorrow!
Ikea chokes on meatball tariffs.
When posing questions either to yourself and others be aware of how questions are to be asked and answered, also be aware of interpretation of answers.
The Buddha-Lord Makhimsih divided questions into four classes:
1.Those that deserve a categorical (yes or no answer).
2.Those that deserve an analytical answer, defining and qualifying the terms of the question.
3.Those that deserve a counter question, putting the ball back in the questioner's court.
4.Those that deserve to be put aside.
Further he also said that there are two types of people who misrepresent him.
1. Those who draw inferences from statements that shouldn't have inferences drawn from them.
2.Those who don't draw inferences from those that should.

Maitreya Project
Creating Peace for the Individual and the World
"Maitreya" comes from the Sanskrit word "maitri' which means love in the sense of compassion and responsibility. As it's focus, Maitreya Project is building a magnificent 500ft / 152m bronze statue of the world's next Buddha, Maitreya, in northern India. The Project is based on the premise that inner peace and outer peace share a cause and effect relationship. The statue will remind everyone of the need for loving-kindness, cultivating inner peace as well as peace within the family, the community and the world.
The Project will benefit the people of India through its economic impact and social programmes, which includes health care and education of international standard.
The statue has been designed to last for at least 1,000 years - a unique and demanding requirement for modern architects and engineers - to enable the Project's spiritual and social work to thrive for at least a millennium.
A Message of Loving-kindness and Peace
We are living in very uncertain times. Humanity and all living things are constantly under threat and there is an urgent need to create the causes for harmony throughout the world.
All of the world's major religions and humanitarian traditions teach the ethical values of tolerance, patience, loving-kindness and compassion. As these universal values are embraced and take root in the minds and hearts of more and more people, world peace will become an attainable dream.
"Loving-kindness is the cause, peace is the result, internally and externally - peace for the individual, the family, the community, and for the whole world.
"This is the way to bring peace and happiness, not only in the present world, but in the future as well."
--- Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Spiritual Director of Maitreya Project
"Relying on certain Mahayana Buddhist citations and quotations, we believe that in this fortunate aeon one thousand Buddhas will appear. This is the time of the fourth Buddha, Buddha Shakyamuni, whose teaching is still existing, and the fifth Buddha will be Maitreya Buddha."
--- His Holiness the XIVth Dalai Lama

There is no spoon.
You have to see it for yourself.
This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back.
You take the BLUE pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.
You take the RED pill, you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Remember all I'm offering is the truth, nothing more.
